Townes Van Zandt - Delta Momma Blues (Vinyl)
The blues get a little more on the rock side with Where I Lead Me and it’s the perfect kind of energy injection for this late stage in the album’s run time as Van Zandt ramps up for the run home. A run home that ends with Nothin’, the kind of song that sounds like it could be sung by striking workers outside a Kentucky coal mine.
Townes Van Zandt wrote amazing songs and wrote even better lyrics. He was a great musician and singer but there’s something more elemental than those skills that makes Delta Momma Blues so effective. It’s what’s driving the music, lyrics and vocals. This may sound hyperbolic, but you can hear Van Zandt’s heart and soul in his music in a way that not very many musicians, even some of the greats, ever manage to pull off this well and this organically.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
